88. We're not going anywhere
Considering the hot weather, the body of the three dogs has begun to decompose to a high degree, so the father of the three dogs agreed to close the coffin immediately and put the coffin nail, which means that they will never see each other again.
This long coffin nail, like nailing to the heart of the three dogs' mother, the sound of nails one after another, like the last elegy, is the last note left by the son in this world.
The father of the three dogs muttered silently beside him: "Three dogs, don't be afraid, the sky is falling, and there is a father on top; The ground rises up, and there is a father stepping on it. You can go with confidence......"
Mingcheng's father took advantage of this vacancy, and hurriedly went to the freight yard to hire two horse-drawn carts at a high price, one car pulled the coffin, and the other car pulled their group of five, and then walked along the road to the eleventh and eighth capitals, and took a detour to the three-headed lane and the iron furnace to go home.
Before leaving, the three dog fathers did not forget to give a red envelope to the master who made the coffin nail, and there was not much money in his pocket, so it meant that the nail master also gave the three dog fathers a leftover coffin nail, which he wanted to take home, which meant that he was promoted to become rich and rich.
Yesterday was just after the seventh half, today is the sixteenth of July, and it is a full moon night, and the horse-drawn cart is moving very fast, and before the full moon, we will arrive home.
Before I got home, the people guarding the intersection were already crying, and the three dog grandparents got the news from others in advance, and they were already guarding the intersection.
The white-haired person sent the black-haired person, how could he not be sad, he used to like this eldest grandson the most, and he also expected him to bring glory to the family, but I didn't expect that when my life was just in full bloom, it withered.
Because of the news in advance, all the relatives and friends at home have moved, and the hall has been cleared as a temporary mourning hall, and the coffins that have been transported back are immediately placed on two benches.
The incense table is placed in front, and the head is cooked (a bowl of rice cooked separately for the dead, seven or eight minutes cooked) has been cooked, light the incense, burn the paper in a clay pot, and the three dog grandmothers hold the incense and silently read:
"Three dogs, three dogs who are hard-working, go home, go home now, we go home now, we won't go anywhere in the future..... you go first, grandma will come to accompany you in a few years." Then put the incense on the head to change the rice.
Sangou Dad, Mingcheng Dad, Mingcheng and a few men, picked up the rice and pulled a few bites, and they were full quickly, they couldn't procrastinate, there were too many things to do.
Mingyue, who jumped up from the bed in the morning, lay down again at this time, Mingyue's mother has been guarding the side, saying that she is taking care of it, but she can't talk about taking care of it, Mingyue doesn't eat food or drink water.
Mingyue's mother also sat on the edge of the bed, secretly crying, sad for Sangou, and sad for her daughter, they are all hard-working people, Sangou has ended up in this miserable end, what will her daughter do in the future?
After arriving home, Sangou's mother couldn't hold on anymore, she collapsed directly on the bed, her tears were almost dry, and she could only lie upright on the bed, her mouth was flattened, and she couldn't cry or shed tears.
Neighbors, relatives and friends all rushed to see her, you persuaded her one by one, and the three dogs seemed to be unable to see or hear, closing their eyes and slumping on the bed.
Father Mingcheng was busy discussing things with the three dog fathers:
"Do you think you want to do this later?"
"Everything is simple, Sangou is still underage married, it can be regarded as an untimely death, and it is okay to enter the soil, and there is no need to do anything else."
"I suggest that this matter doesn't have to be done in a big way, but it can't be too simple, Sangou this kid, we owe him too much"
Before Sangou Dad replied, Mingcheng's father continued: "No matter how big or small this thing is, the cost will be paid by me, the cause of Sangou's incident is Mingyue, without Mingyue's trouble, Sangou will not be like this, this is also what our Wang family owes you, you let us pay some money to buy peace of mind." ”
"Our brothers for so many years, don't say those words; Sangou's own fate should be like this, and others can't do it if he counts his life. The three dog fathers pondered for a moment, and then continued:
"For the expenses, you will help me first, these years for the three dogs to study..... you also know my family background, and between you, this money, you are welcome, in the future, I will double the amount I can earn, I will pay you back, this life is not repaid, in the next life we will get together again, and then repay...."
The third dog father was also a little emotional, and he said a lot of words in a row; It is true that in times of difficulty, only such brothers will come to the rescue, or the same sentence - great grace does not say thank you, you want to thank you to see the action, not lip service.
The two agreed to do things as normal, but they had to speed up the time, because they couldn't wait, no matter how tightly nailed this coffin, after all, it was not a sealed bottle, and now it was revealing a trace of stench.
That night, he invited the painter to give a red envelope, boiled three eggs for the painter to eat, and immediately began to glue powder and primer to the coffin blank.
Wait for the primer to dry, and then apply a few coats of paint, so that it is basically sealed and the smell will not leak out; Since Sangou has not yet reached the age of sixty, he cannot write the word longevity on the coffin and draw patterns such as male and female blessings.
Non-stop called people to invite Mr. Taoist, according to the birth date of the three dogs, the time of death, etc., to calculate the day of the funeral (funeral), fortunately, the day after tomorrow is a good day, the day after tomorrow is not as good as the day, it is set the day after tomorrow.
Then the Taoist priest began to chant the scriptures, sing the song of 100 longevity to the deceased, and if the deceased was a woman, he would sing the song of October pregnancy.
That night, the Sangou family wore linen and filial piety, played street lamps under the guidance of Taoist priests, lit incense, brought rosin bags (wrapped rosin in straw paper), and went to the intersection where there were no homes at the entrance of the village, and lit it. It means that when you light a street lamp, the dead will not go blind when they walk.
Early the next morning, on the fifth watch, the three dogs' grandmothers made a basin of water, dipped a towel in some water, and wiped it over the coffin, which meant to wash the face and wash the three dogs, and then boiled a bowl of rice, put it on the table, and continue the incense, this incense has not been broken.
As soon as the morning dawned, Mr. Feng Shui, who went to inform him last night, came to the door, and the father of the three dogs led him to see the cemetery.
Mr. Feng Shui also has no scruples, holding a compass, holding the eight characters of Sangou's birthday, and finally setting on a piece of land in Ermao's house, sunny and open, the mountain behind is gentle, not far from Sangou's house, you can see it at a glance.
After deciding on the cemetery, find someone to tell Ermao's family to go, usually in exchange for other land, and add a red envelope.
Since the funeral is scheduled for tomorrow, the time is urgent, after Mr. Feng Shui sets the cemetery, he immediately carries a wine jug, lights incense and burns paper to toast, and goes up the mountain to invite the mountain god.
First of all, the family knelt and dug three times, and the stonemason master and a few small workers were invited to dig the gold well (tomb pit), and at the same time, they also asked someone to bring the stone mortar up.
The father of the three dogs went back with Mr. Feng Shui and ate the incense wine (old shou rice) at noon, and the immediate family members of the deceased (two generations) could not eat meat for 7749 days, and the guests could drink wine and eat meat.
